Silicone gel implants may lose approval http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1210900083
Health Canada is expected to announce Friday its plans for synthetic chemicals found in silicone fluids as part of a risk assessment of 200 chemical substances, identified as top priorities for action because they are potentially harmful to human health or the environment.
It has already written to industry, explaining that "in the absence of additional relevant information," the government is "predisposed to conclude, based on a screening assessment, that this substance satisfies the definition of toxic (under the) Canadian Environmental Protection Act"... A toxic declaration about the Cyclohexasiloxane family, also known as D4, D5, D6, would start a process that could lead to a ban in certain products, as with bisphenol A in baby bottles.

Hunh. A chemical in silicone breast implants, Bisphenol A, is bad, and gets noticed because it might be found in already-toxic baby bottles.
Jokes about "stacked deck," and "nursing a toxin," and "Bisphenol A sucks" and "the Cyclohexasiloxane blues" all worth imagining.
